Over the past several years, he has toured the pipe organs of diverse cities with the Organ Historical Society, and also enjoys the smaller pipe organ tradition from carnivals, carousels, and the street-grinder tradition. He built his first personal computer (with a soldering iron) in 1976, and has been falling behind the technology ever since!
